I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Subject: Art

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.

I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free.

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed?

A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.

After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.

Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.

If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.

I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.

Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.

If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.

The more the marbles wastes, the more the statue grows.

Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.

I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.

What do you despise? By this you are truly known.
